package/tools developper description pros cons misc (from the PDM

point of view)

fpipe M. Wille• EUSO-Balloon "official" quick-tool• (quasi) real-time monitoring, some offline analysis

• super quick as named • beautiful graphical tools and convenience • export fits/gif/ascii/root format • good for CPU_TRIGGER/ACQUISITION data, quick view of PMT-by-PMT scurve data etc.

• less flexible for real time modification especially for the calibration/pre-flight test in the lab• heavily library dependent (easiest solution so far: import VirtualBox image in which the software has been already installed)

• mainly used for monitoring data during the flight• especially useful for PSF measurement at IRAP in May and laser flasher events/pre-flight measurements

event_dump standalone package

C. Fornarodumping program for PDM binary data

• very convenient to check/understand raw data • flexible for offline analysis• Simple C program: can be compiled in many RH family linux without external libraries• ready from the beginning

• not super quick • output file size (binary->ASCII) unless save just ave/sum data

• originally developed for checking data quickly on CPU -> ready since early tests with CPU• mainly used for the pre-flight calibration • especially useful for analysis with s-curves & other detailed offline analysis (with ROOT scripts by Hiroko)

etot/etos L. PiotrowskiTA-EUSO quick-tool/offline analysis

• fast enough • root TTree output following the OFFLINE format

• less flexible for real time modification especially for the calibration/pre-flight test in the lab

• convenient for offline analysis (see detailes in Sylvie. D presentation tomorrow)?

And many other calibration,

further data analysis…..

Summary

• There several tools to read raw data• We can use any of those depending on the

purpose • Currently available with direct contact with

each developpers but will be available from common database in near future

• Feedbacks of each programs to the developpers would be helpful to improve/debug their tools
